Large swathes of The Stray in Harrogate remain flooded today after heavy rainfall from Storm Franklin.
The Stray underwent major repairs two years ago to improve drainage in the area near the Prince of Wales roundabout.
But that area, and many others, is under water, raising questions about what, if anything, can be done to improve matters.
The Stray Defence Association, which has campaigned to safeguard the Stray since the 1930s, posted on its Facebook page:
Harrogate Borough Council, which is the protector of the Stray, was forced to repair the Stray in 2019 after the UCI World Championships caused extensive damage.
We reached out to the council for comment but did not receive a response.
